Matt and John have their full review of The Ninth Jedi, the first full-length Star Wars: Visions series. Was this bold new take on the Star Wars galaxy worthwhile? They ask:
- Is canon-adjacent a worthwhile pursuit in a canon-obsessed era? - Did John’s formative childhood love for anime inform his review? - Does this philosophically align with George Lucas’ vision of Star Wars? - Will this appeal to a wide enough viewer base? Your favorite Jedi Masters ponder all those questions and more, and point to other canon-adjacent reinterpretations of Lucas’ vision have worked in the past.

Inspired by a recent book to a new Barnes & Noble, John asks Matt if his perception lines up with reality. Looking at the Star Wars section of the Sci-Fi area, there was a disturbing sign. Does a lack of new titles and a ton of older “Legends” titles on display show a once-great publishing arm well out of steam and heading for irrelevance? What does that mean for the franchise as a whole?

John and Matt discuss whether Star Wars fans, both casual and devoted, want villains beyond the Empire. Are we ready to explore the criminal underworld’s denizens as our primary antagonists, or do we always want rebellion and empire? They discuss:
- Whether criminal Star Wars plays better on the big or small screen - How it affects the stakes to take it down a notch from galactic domination - Why Lucas’ desire to explore other aspects of the Galaxy Far, Far Away is just now getting its day - What in the world(s) we might be able to expect going forward All this and more in the latest from your favorite Jedi Masters on The Nerd Party.

Spurred on by a Wordpress blog prompt of the day, John and Matt discuss what it would look like if Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious) suddenly announced he was stepping down and nominating Darth Vader to run in a special election to let the people decide who the next Emperor should be. They discuss:
- Best time period for the situation to be set - WHO would RUN AGAINST VADER? [The answer may surprise you!] - How would anyone trust the vote results - Could this manage to be an in-canon series [or book] to expand on the idea?
